oun Jumon pnom King: Carl Race, Junior President: Sal Simonetti, Queen: Gayle Lambert On May 29, 1953, we as Juniors held our Junior Prom and as in the past the Prom was given in honor of the Senior Class. A King and Queen were chosen by the orchestra from the Seniors attending the Prom. This was some- thing new because always before they were elected by the Junior class. The theme of the Prom was Springtime A large well was the central object around which the rest of the decorations evolved. Small wells were placed on each table as center pieces and souvenirs. Refreshments were served downstairs in the cafeteria. The music was provided by George Kresch and all who attended enjoyed the Prom very much.

semon play One of the highlights of the year tor the Class of '54 was the Senior Play, Our Girls The production was a farce comedy in three acts by Conrad Seiler. The play was so successful that it had the audience in an uproar during the whole show and will be long remembered by those who attended. The play took place entirely in the living room of the Lovejoy home in the small American town of Beaver Falls. The Lovejoys were a typical American family with more than average problems. They had avery wealthy aunt with an extreme aversion for boys. This may not seem like a problem to most people but she had appor- tioned her fortune to her three nieces 1who were really boyslg since she had been told they were girls, the boys were given girls names to correspond with such a story. The boys names were Frances 1141, Jesse 1121, and Vivian 1165. For many years this had not been a problem, but when Aunt Jessie decided to come from England to bestow, in person, Vivian's first 5500, complications arose. It is deter- mined that the boys must masquerade as girlsg space does not permit the descrip- tion of the confusion and chaos that resulted from this escapade. At the climax Vivian donned his own boys clothes inanattempt to sneak out to see his long neglect- ed girlfriend, Phyllis, he was discovered by Aunt Jessie who was likewise about the house after all in the household had retired. Aunt Jessie left, supposedly to return home, having cut the boys off without a cent, but returns with a happy ending for all. Our most sincere thanks go to Mr. lsruska and Mr. Adamchak for their compe- tent and able directiong to Mr. Chamberlain and the Ag. boys for their fine work on the scenery and to Mr. Brugler for helping with our make-up BACK STAGE Master of Ceremonies . . . .
